ivy hearts

July 28, 2012February 25, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

Ivy, its curling tendrils embracing all within its reach, has come to symbolize fidelity, loyalty and undying affection. In many ways this faithful vine enriches our lives. "Whole ages have fled and their works decayed. And nations have scattered been; But the stout old ivy shall never fade, From its hale and hearty green."Charles Dickens… Continue reading ivy hearts

June 7, 2012 Ellen Lebsock

The tee shirt factory is still in operation in our studio.  This is item nine of twelve - but it's not safe to assume we'll stop at a dozen!  The white cotton tee shirts are inexpensive and the art is FUN!

It won’t be a lie. If it’s delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It won’t be late. Habakkuk 2:2-3… Continue reading write the vision

May 10, 2012April 10, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

The past several days have been all about these two characters. In real life, Issac – the world's bravest tiger – and his timid friend Wendell spend their days close to Nana Ellen's desk sharing their stories and awaiting new adventures.  In storybook form they live with Bootsey and Bobbie Jo, two little girls off… Continue reading storybook friends
